Project summaries

Alpen Carbon buys and invests in verified

  • Nature Based Solutions REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) projects. These rainforest protection projects include improved forest management (IFM) methodologies in SE Asia (Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand)

  • Blue Carbon Credits like Mangrove conservation, seagrass restoration and tidal wetland projects. Blue Carbon Credits have High carbon sequestration (up to 4x more than terrestrial forests) and improve coastal resilience benefits.

  • Tech-Based Carbon Removal such as biochar, composting (methane avoidance) and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS)

Our carbon credits are important for several key reasons, particularly in ensuring integrity, transparency, and real-world impact in the voluntary carbon market. We focus on;

​

High Environmental Integrity
Our credits are certified to meet rigorous criteria, ensuring that emission reductions are real, measurable, and additionality (i.e., they wouldn’t have happened without the project). Projects must align with the Paris Agreement and demonstrate long-term sustainability.

 

Strong Social and Community Benefits
We focus on projects that deliver co-benefits aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), such as improving health, creating jobs, or protecting biodiversity. Example: A clean cookstove project reduces emissions while also lowering indoor air pollution for families.

​

Third-Party Auditing & Transparency
All of our projects undergo independent verification by accredited auditors. Credits are tracked on a public registry to prevent double-counting or fraud.

 

Avoids Over-Crediting & Ensures Permanence
We apply conservative baselines to avoid issuing inflated credits. Projects like reforestation must have safeguards to ensure carbon removal is permanent (e.g., through buffer pools).

​

Trusted by Corporations & Governments
Our carbon credit projects are endorsed by major NGOs (like WWF) and used by reputable companies for credible net-zero claims. 

​

Focus on Future-Focused Solutions
We prioritise projects that go beyond avoidance (e.g., avoided deforestation) to removal projects (like direct air capture or enhanced weathering), which are critical for net-zero goals.

The Importance of Carbon Credits

Carbon credits play a critical role in addressing transition risks associated with climate change by helping businesses, organisations, investors and governments manage the financial, regulatory, and operational challenges of shifting to a low-carbon economy. 

​

Current governments are transitionary but Climate Change is a scientific fact that will only grow in importance in future years. 

​

Our carbon credits assist you in;

​

  • Ensuring Compliance with Regulatory & Policy Shifts,

  • Hedging Against Carbon Price Volatility,

  • Protecting Market Share & Investor Confidence,

  • Managing Physical and Transition Risks relating to Climate Change,

  • Access to Green Finance & Lower Cost of Capital,

  • Addressing Supply Chain Disruptions,

  • Preparing for Future Scarcity of High-Quality Offsets, and

  • Investing in Communities and the Environment.
